So I started this project as a way to document my life this year but i'm noticing that gradually i'm taking more and more food photos. Its probably not unforseeable that this would happen but is anyone else noticing a certain trend to their project? Or am I just food obsessed? :)
Mine is flowers.... I take a bunch of photos, then my favorites always ends up being the ones with flowers in them. I need to try to steer away from that for a while.
I think my project is kind of all over the place - one day it's a picture of a flower that has no relevance whatsoever and the next it's a weird little part of my day. I don't think I've quite found my niche yet but I can tell that I'm starting to be more comfortable with having photos I like, as opposed to the mundane stuff I took at the start.
I'm doing the same this as hila, mines all self portraits or they incorpirate me. I do feel like alot of my pictures have a nature feel because i take alot of them outside.
The only consistent theme for me is inconsistency! I'm all over the place, but this is helping me determine what my interests are, which I didn't know when I first started.
Aside from the daily shoot assignments, which I decided some assignments require too much time commitment, almost all of my shots are of flowers, insects, bugs, birds, trees, textures and the like. All of which I find either in my backyard, or on my photo walks through the local public gardens. When I try to snap people or everyday mundane objects, I don't have nearly as much fun or satisfaction.
Yea, but mine are't leaning in any direction at all, although i know a lot of them dont use much but more shadow in some from post editing and they can be quite dark and moody at times. Where as others are of just random crap. June was a bloody terrible month for me...really hit a slump. Slowly picking up. Slowly, mind.
Think we should have a thread of everyone picking their shit photos recently rather then their faves haha ;) that would make a change and may be get feed back from others too
i tend to bounce around too! but for the most part, the common theme is my toddler. i am documenting my 30th year in my project (from 30th bday to 31st bday). Since i stay at home with my almost 2 year old, i suppose it's only natural that he's a common focus. i try to make my daily shots something that encompasses the day's activities so that i will be able to look back years from now and jog a memory....
Definately for me - I like the challenge of street photos, strangers, interesting / odd people, buildings and more use of Black + White. Oh and awesome vans of course!
Not sure if my results have improved since I started in January, but my interest in cameras, pictures and always looking out for a photograoh definately has!
not leaning in any one spot I dont think, in fact i think that the majority of mine are very different with the exception of the pets peppered in here and there...I guess, i dont know...I try to find new things always
I'm still all over the place in my photos. I take some landscape, some self, some still life and whatever else pops up in my travels. I'm surprised I don't take more shots of my pets frankly
Well, I like taking pictures of food. ;-)
And making collages of my family.
And using photos of everyday things, to visually represent some of my innermost thoughts.
That seems to be what my project is all about.
I love your food photos, Weng....they always look so good! I looked through my last couple of shots - a dead horse fly, a pretty flower, and a teenager making obscene gestures - and all I can say is that my project is jumping all over the place! No consistency at all! I want to explore everything, and one day I feel like black&white, other like lots of color, and still other - something different! Just going with the flow ;-)
Been very house bound due to OH broken ribs etc, so mine is mainly photos of my dog, shes amusing but i want so much to take photos of other things but im just lost and dont know what im doing??! ooh eh turned into a bit of a rant there

....I am finding that I have been taking a lot more sky/cloud/early morning pictures :D
nice work guys. Oh and Lauren, happy half year to you a few days ago ;)
Although if you ask Jenn I'm sure I'm actually leaning towards "bland" :(

I knew it would revolve around my cats, but the random objects kinda threw me off a little :(
I just seem to be so busy all the time! doing nothing...
And by doing this project, I have realized how boring my life really is :p
